Richard Pouwels and Kim van Loon from the Netherlands form a
fascinating Historic Sidecar Racing Team. They have two Classic Ironhead
Sidecar Racing Bikes, a "seater" and a "kneeler", both
powered by Harley Sportster Ironhead Engines.
Richard and Kim's current "kneeler" Ironhead
racing bike, which went through quite a bit of development over the years. The
frame was built by Kobus Bouwman. This type of frame is called a
"kneeler": to reduce drag the driver actually rides the bike sitting
on his knees.
